For the past 25 years David Rankine has been
exploring, through his art music and writing, the nature of Sacredness and
Creativity.

He has now extended this exploration of sacred art and
sacred sound into the healing modalities developing a healing method which
incorporates Reiki, music and sacred geometry

a few notes on Sacred Geometry and how it
relates to the human state of being

Sacred Geometry or the geometry of the Mandala, quite simply mirrors the
geometry of nature and therein lies one of the secrets of its
effectiveness.

At the
most basic (and purest level), Mandalas are appealing because we
RECOGNIZE them. The designs resonate with us on levels we are not even
aware of. Conscious brain activity is only a small percentage of brain
activity- most of which takes place sub-consciously.

The
geometry of the mandala is that very same geometry that is found in
nature (SACRED
GEOMETRY). The "construction matrix" of all energy and matter in
nature is a geometric one. Geometric patterns are the shape of sound and
also of colour. Cellular life multiplies geometrically and even DNA is
laid out in a geometric pattern. Crystals grow in geometric shapes and
one has to only look at any flower head to see the exquisite patterning.

The
geometric patterning of nature is not so easy to see when looking at
something like a tree, but it is still there. It is only because we are
seeing so much details and so many forms running through each other (and
moving too) that we cannot perceive the basic forms.

Our own
bodies contain these geometric patterns and their associated
mathematical growth ratios ( phi and pi for example) and when we view
the stripped down geometric form of the mandala , we actually see a
TRUTH of creation. The perfect patterns resonate with the patterns
within our own bodies and minds and return us to a healed
state...balanced and whole. It is as if the perfection of the mandala
reforms our own slightly out of balance (diseased) patterns.

In many
ways the Mandala speaks to us- but in a language that is non verbal- one
that is barely at the edges of awareness but one which, without doubt,
speaks loudly and clearly.
